The Python Software Foundation (PSF) Board elections are held to select representatives for shaping the future of the Python community.
In 2025, there are 4 open seats on the PSF Board as some current board members are at the end of their terms.
The Board election timeline includes key dates like nominations opening on July 29th and voting ending on September 16th, all in UTC.
To participate in the election, members must be Contributing, Supporting, or Fellow members by August 26th and affirm their intention to vote.
A recent Bylaw change simplifies the voter affirmation process for past voters, automatically adding them to the 2025 voter roll.
Candidates interested in running for the Board should care about the Python community and be prepared to invest time in meetings and community promotion.
Nomination statements for the Board can be submitted starting July 29th, allowing time for discussions with potential nominees.
Resources like videos and past Annual Impact Reports are available for those interested in learning more about the PSF and the Board role.
Members can join the discussion about the PSF Board election on the Discuss forum and participate in PSF Board Office Hours on the PSF Discord.
To receive updates, members can subscribe to the PSF blog or join the psf-member-announce mailing list.
